# %postname% Permalink Settings not working

 * I have built many wordpress websites, but for some reason the site I’m building:
   [gordianrescuetraining.com ](http://gordianrescuetraining.com/)is not working
   right. I set the permalinks to `/%postname%` as I always do, but this time it’s
   not working right. The pages I created don’t work.
 * I even un-installed and reinstalled WordPress, started from scratch clean and
   neat and it’s still not working. It does work when the permalinks are set to 
   default (on both installs).
 * Does anybody have any idea why this would be? I’m totally lost.

 * Is `mod_rewrite` installed and enabled on your server?
